I'm tired of the evasive, backdoor shite. You're being a cunt, and I've had enough. CUNT! HA!

Anyway, all I argued this time, such as it is, is that company vehicles are a detriment to your overall career as compared to your benefit from higher wages, lower costs in regard to healthcare, FICA contributions from employer, etc...you're being a cuntbag, dear. :) They're running a fucking business, not a goddamned welfare-shop wherein they fuck-and-suck those 'important' employees and somehow still make enough profit to pay you.

Yer cost to run that neat company vehicle means that you not only write off your own, any resale value, any value it has while it deteriorates in a garage while you're afraid they'll take the company ride...but you largely assume responsibility for the other, no matter what they tell you...dealers fuck you, company fucks you, insurance fucks you, even if you're under 'their' policy...yet you could just ask for cash instead and probably do better in the long term.

Congrats, a basic and pretty seamless argument on either side turns into "don't wanna even listen to EA, he's young and dumb" shit - have fun, bro.

I just called ya out, in public view, on issues I reasonably explained.

:)

Yes, I am definitely an asshole. Billy-boy wants my neck wringed ASAP, if'n you wanna team up.

you have caught me on a bad night

this is the 3rd time this week I've run across this bullshit attitude and I'm done listening to it

I refuse to take to job-benefit-analysis from someone who's not only never held a real job for more than 6 months but refuses to dedicate himself to one because he believes with all his heart that he's just gonna get "fucked" out of it.

actually WORK for a decade and pay your own way (whatever that may be), then tell me about it

News to me on the job, dude. Been a bit longer than that.

Again on dedicating myself to one.

Moreso on your determination of my beliefs.

I refuse to take condescending remarks from a person who really hasn't gotten any farther in life than I have - with no real, useful education under the belt, a job roughly the same as mine in terms of success, and more young-and-dumb obligations you've created and gotten fucked on than I will in the next 15 years of my damned life.

Worse, dude, you're talking out your ass about all this neat shit and never once did you actually consult me about any of it. Imagine that. I can tell you that you're wrong, and I actually have the facts on the matter. I've lived it.

I'm predominantly complaining about the problem of discussion having become constantly interpreted as a personal attack, though I don't think I communicated it so well myself. Refuse this and that, and be an ignorant fuck for it. Fuck you too, bro. Least I start threads at my own risk in order to promote positive aspects of life and mind.

It's not funny anymore that everyone's inclined to refuse so much and state so little.

Really not funny that such openminded, benevolent, generous people outpour hatred over intellectual debates, myself included.

No small wonder that our 'community' is just a bunch of people trying to get theirs, and fuck the other guy.

My bullshit attitudes come from seeing crap like this - whether in life or business.

What the hell did I miss?

I was working in "the box" last nite. It must have insulated me from some "interesting" discussion.

I think yer all just jealous that you haven't achieved the same level of enormous success in your professional lives and careers when compared to everything I've accomplished in mine. Too bad. I won't apologize for being THE GAME.

What you missed, Muddy, was essentially me "hanging up the phone" on EA on messenger. Last time he got me so heated that the arguement spanned a few IRC channels. Last night I chose to just drop out of a conversation instead of arguing about it. Apparently he wants to bring it to the forum. This issue was me telling him how my company rewards store managers that are making sales plan with a chance to win a brand new truck for their efforts. Being the well-rounded expert that he is, he had to drive his point home about how it was a shitty truck, it was another way for the company to fuck me and how bad the whole idea was. Basically it comes down to this:
1.) I will not be lectured about the pitfalls of a career from a person who doesn't have one.
2.) I will not take money advice from a person who doesn't have any.
3.) I will not listen to the ramblings of a very intelligent kid who replaces real life friends, hobbies and personal growth with a super-inflated internet ego.

Whether he wants to believe it or not, he is just a kid. Hell, at 33 I barely consider myself an adult. He looks at everything from his own little eyes and just knows it's right, no matter how wrong he may be. He uses big words and a condescending tone to try and beat his point in to you. His glass is always half empty.

You are on the path to failure. You are a little man. You hide in mommy and daddy's house under the guise of "taking care of them" because you are afraid of that. Any excuses you try and make to prove you are not are just that; excuses. I could live with all of that and respect you if you didn't try and be such an expert on everything that you know nothing about. A big vocabulary and a set of 'internet balls" cannot replace real-life experience and education.

So do me a favor and just leave it alone. I'll go my way and you go yours. I really have nothing more to discuss with you on this or any other subject.

You know, I havent got a dog in this fight, but I'm gonna speak anyway.

EA, you probably need to just hush, before you create absolute confirmation that you're an ass.

I think you will be able to speak on adult topics when you are an adult. Once you leave your mom's house, build a life for yourself, and sustain it for some years, then you can tell these guys about your great wisdom.

I'd say that by word and deed, Cruise and Mac are by far your betters. I dont know a lot of guys that can create complex industrial machines with just a copy of autocad and a pile of scrap. I know a shitload of folks that can piss around with websites. And running a major retail store with 100 or so employees and a yearly cash flow likely in the millions isnt something you hire random folks for. These guys have worked themselves up the ladder. You're standing on the bottom step flexing your muscles. You'd do well to listen up. And to insult a guy that put you up in his home and treated you so well is just an indicator that you haven't learned much yet. Shut up till you grow up.

And by the way, I know one financial planner and one risk/lending analyst who both have company vehicles. You might want to publish your well documented findings to allow these poor fools to make better decisions. I'm sure they'd be glad to sit and listen to you.

Mute, there are two kinds of people on this board. 1) Those I respect and would only flame in jest, and hope to remain on good terms with. 2) Those I don't really give a fuck about, will throw the odd insult at, and really couldn't care less what they think of me. You fit into category two. So whatever your problem is, get over it, or at least waste your time more productively.

My comment in this thread was more on the humor side than 'me having a problem with you'. I couldn't care less either. But we're derailing this thread so best keep it where it belongs.

Doh, make that one more asstard for mute :) (if you're obsvervant you'd know I started the derailing first)

Heh...I've hardly been home to use the comp. *shrug*

I think all of the personal insults toward me speak volumes more about you rock-throwers than anything I'd have to piss on my dignity to use in retaliation.

It's kinda funny - particularly since all I posted about was the subject we'd been arguing about. Wait, my bad - I called him a cunt with tongue in cheek.

With that said, I know that I am a pretentious asshole; it's a conscious behavioral trait. I also know that I act like I know everything, too.

Inversely, there haven't been very many times where I didn't listen...just a lot where I argued. If ya can avoid getting pissed off by whatever you're arguing about, it's a very good way to expand your knowledge/insight further. If you don't believe me, go talk to those guys that kinda built the USA's government. They did a lot of it, too.

Enough of fighting with you people, though...you take objectively innocent subjects, wrap them in your perceptions of my intent and personality, and then flame me en masse on things you'd have enough respect to leave alone anywhere else.

I'm done participating here for that reason alone...my attraction to this place and its inhabitants has been pretty soured. Aaaand before any of you choose to start with the poor EA shit, I'm not crying my eyes out, I'm not pissed off, and I'm not going to lurk quietly so I can have my cake and eat it too. Maybe eventually I'll come back, we'll burn those bridges then.

There's better things in life than fucking around with this bs.

Best of luck, and the only thing I'm needed for, in a technical sense, is DNS registry management...lemme know if anything comes up there, someone, and I'll take care of it.

I'm gonna eat my pizza now. :)

I see nothing from Billyman here but it sure looks like others took up the invitation.

I remember seeing something like this on Wild Kingdom. Critter1 cornered critter2, the second critter fought for it's life and then critter2 was assisted by like-minded critters. The attack backfired and critter1 ran away.

It stops being an argument when things get personal. From what this thread says, not only did that happen but there was some stalking involved.

So, is this another "passage of keys" or do we wait for "make nice"?

One or the other, please.

Billyman

07-06-2004, 11:03 PM

Billyman kept his nose out of it because he said what little peace he had to say on Yahoo IM the night/morning this thread was put up. Hell, he didn’t even say a whole hell of a lot then. Something’s he agreed on and on others I remember him clearly stating “dude, you don’t know what the fuck you’re talking about”. When all the shit hit the fan here, he would have been doing nothing more than repeating what everyone else had already said so he just let it role off his back saying “one day my friend, you’ll see”.

He also thinks a lot of that guy EA. He does think he’s smart and does have large quantities of intelligence…..just heavily misguided or perhaps without guidance at all. A lesson here is you can listen as well as you hear.

At the age of 10 Billyman knew everything. At age 20 he realized 10 years before hand he didn’t know shit. Now in his early 30’s he realizes he didn’t know jack shit at 20 and damn sure didn’t know a thing 10. He’s looking forward to 40 by the way.

Pride.

Learn to swallow it and you’ll be surprised what one can learn.

3. Its a truck we are discussing on the internet.

this...is over a truck.
this is some 19 year old pissant who thinks he knows so much more than everyone around him because he grew up on the streets (yo represent).

at least RW was honestly dramatic and humorous.
this is just sad.

The list.

RC and moon pies.
Dr. Pepper and beef jerky.
Coke and salty peanuts.

Any combinations not clearly stated above are an abomination against god and the laws of man.

If you must eat a butterfinger, it should be washed down with a yoohoo. From a glass bottle.

yoohoo tastes like water

Real RC cola disapeared during a merger in the late 80's and they only sell RC flat-black-crap now.

anyone who puts salted peanuts in coke is just trying to be a hick....like anyone who slaps a dale earnhart sticker on their VW Jetta

dr peper = the devil!

there are only two acceptable places to get beef jerky:
1) the dusty plastic can that hasn't been opened in a year underneath a crappy wire rack display case at the truck stop you whipped into when you had to pee so bad you could taste it
2) the 3# bag from sam's wholesale club

Torque

07-13-2004, 05:54 PM

Places not to get beef jerky. Wal-mart. Jack link can kiss my ass.
And yes, putting peanuts in your coke is dumb. You'll get wet. They should be shaken into the mouth from the little plastic bag tube thing. 2 for a buck is what should be paid for such little bags of peanuts.

What goes with mountain dew, i say??? Zits. Zits go with mountain dew, as it is a teenagers drink.

By the way, my usual gas station has ziploc bags full of home made beef jerky. And that stuff is teh winnar.
